Featured! Pacific Weddings Magazine // Winter & Spring 2013
I am humbled and honored to be featured in Pacific Weddings – I love the magazine! Hanniel and Chris’ Maui Wedding is featured in the current Winter/Spring 2013 issue. A wedding wrapped in so much love, I promise their story will inspire you. You can read all about it in the magazine and see more of their photos on my blog here. Nothing makes me happier than seeing one of my sweet couples grace the pages of a magazine. Being the huge print lover that I am, its always so special for me to see my work published in something tangible. I feel so blessed to photograph and tell stories artistically, its such a dream.
Their wedding was styled and coordinated by none other than Rebekah & Alex of A&B Creative, the genius creative team behind Hanniel & Chris’ engagement session styling as well. Their engagement story has also been published on 100 Layer Cake, read even more about their love story here.

A big thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring Irene & Brian today! I have been itching to post this and I’m so thankful that I finally get to share Irene and Brian with all of you…definitely check out the SMP feature to see the full session! I am so blessed to have clients who are just such sweet people and these two are no exception. We spent the day together exploring the rolling hills, picnicking on some delicious sandwiches prepared by Brian and dishing on some deep convo. There is something so sweet and child-like about Irene and Brian’s love and the heart theme was a perfect touch to their whimsical wedding decor. I was in awe of how much beauty was in this place. It reminded me of Switzerland…a little slice of European charm right here in Cali.

Featured! 100 Layer Cake // French Foodie Bridal Shower
I am so so happy to finally share this Bridal Shower with you and even more excited to see it on 100 Layer Cake today! A big thank you to the ladies over at 100 Layer Cake for featuring this bridal shower, styled by the ever so creative and talented Rebekah of A & B Creative, who is also a bridesmaid in the shoot. This group of ladies are super talented, most of the bridesmaids contributed to the shoot, from hair to invites, this is one talented bridal party! Not to mention, the bride herself is the owner of an adorable vintage furniture boutique, Mignonne. The shower was located at her place, with all its amazing decor (her place was also featured on Apartment Therapy a while back). I always love collaborating on creative shoots and this was definitely a fun day…we had such a fun time celebrating Johnelle over some delicious cocktails, an olive tasting bar and ridiculously tasting food. Isn’t this a fun spin on the traditional bridal shower? Check out the feature at 100 Layer Cake for even more from our shoot!

Featured! Ruffled Blog // Cinco de Mayo Elopement
I was asked to photograph a colorful Cinco de Mayo shoot for Ruffled Blog, featured today…check it out! I teamed up with the ever so talented Rebekah of A & B Creative to bring this color infused shoot to life. The inspiration for the design of this shoot came from Mexican scenery, from dry and arid to lush and bright. The warm wood tones, antique spools and antlers contrasted the bright cigar boxes, patterned plates, and vintage Mexican textiles. Aren’t the florals to die for? I absolutely loved them especially since they featured my favorite flowers: peonies and ranunculus. The bride’s hair was inspired by Frida Kahlo’s classic look, which was a perfect complement to the “Frida” wall. If you want to read more about the design behind the shoot and see a whole gallery of images from our shoot, check out Ruffled!
